The
ultimate question on any battlefield is not who has the largest armies,
the latest technology or who has the most trained troops? The ultimate
question is, whose side is God on? This is a difficult question for most
people to answer, especially those that do not believe in God. The idea
that God would be on one particular side or another, if He exists at all,
is the modern equivalent of praying for your favorite football or baseball
team to win. This trivialization of a Supreme Being is offensive to thinking
people and in many cases, rightfully so. But, in the question of war between
nations, millions of lives can be at stake. Therefore the questions of
morality, justice and who is right, are asked by people of all faiths
and those who hold no religious view at all.

In a
2002 article for Foreign Affairs entitled, “The Clash of Civilizations,”
by Stanley Hoffmann, the author calls for globalization as the answer
to the problem of war. This implies a global authority to rule the world,
which the prophet Daniel predicted as a Revived Roman Empire, when interpreting
the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. One can assume that
Hoffman, who writes for the Council on Foreign Relations publication,
Foreign Affairs, holds to some form of a secularist view in which the
question of God being on any side of a conflict would be a non sequitor
in light of the secularist that He simply does not exist.

When
one nation or group of nations rises against another for the sake of economic
gain, imperialism, religious fanaticism and Empire-building is that a
just war? When a nation or nations engage in war to protect themselves
from an aggressor who has vowed to conquer, enslave or destroy them, is
that a just war? Eastern mysticism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism and
Islam have all attempted to answer these questions. There appears to be
a pattern in history that whenever a nation or nations use their power
to exploit, dominate and destroy other cultures, at some point they are
inevitably brought down. The Universe or God, at whatever level, seems
to apply justice through various forces.

The
Old Testament records countless battles, wars and predicted wars in the
future, such as Armageddon. The descriptions of the various military conflicts
are both bloody and brutal. An uneducated and superficial analysis would
lead one to conclude that the God of the Old Testament is a God of blood
and vengeance. But, this is not the case at all. The Old Testament God
is on the side of the widow, the poor and those who act rightly and do
justice. Moreover, the Biblical God is a fierce opponent of those who
exploit, dominate or enslave others and shed innocent blood. The Book
of Joshua, among other things, is a holographic and digital military manual
about how the God of the Bible led Joshua to conquer and kill the Canaanites.
It has the military intensity of the movie, “Act of Valor,”
along with a strong code of ethics. Certainly this is not to equate the
film, “Act of Valor,” with the Book of Joshua, anymore than
I would equate the psychedelic quality of Francis Ford Coppola’s
“Apocalypse Now,” with the Book of Revelation. Both films
explain war from different perspectives.

The
idea of a God ordering anyone to kill any group of people conjures up
ideas of the most grotesque forms of barbarism and religious extremism.
So why did God order Joshua to kill the Canaanites, which consisted of
the Sidonites, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites,
Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites, including babies and women?

The
center of the Canaanite culture surrounded the worship of Baal and the
Baalim or related gods. Ashtoreth, Baal's wife, was their main goddess.
Ashtoreth was usually depicted as a nude woman. She was the personification
of sex and the reproductive cycles in nature. Ashtoreth was a divine prostitute.
Madonna’s recent performance at this year’s Super Bowl half-time
show and a recent Lady Gaga performance both used the images of the worship
of Ashtoreth and Baal. Ishtar was the Babylonian name of Ashtoreth from
which we get the name Easter. Easter is a festival filled with an emphasis
on eggs, rabbits and other reproductive symbols. This is why Lady Gaga
emerges from a cosmic egg in her performance. Astarte was her Greek and
Roman name and the Temples of Baal and Ashtoreth were usually placed next
to one another. Ashera was a sacred pole, cone of stone, or a tree trunk,
representing the goddess. German occult societies encouraged dancing around
the May pole which came from Ashtoreth fertility rite. The worship of
Baal, Ashtoreth, and other Canaanite gods consisted of engaging in sex
with temple prostitutes, orgies and the sacrifice of babies and children.

The
original source of these religions came from Nimrod and Semiramis at the
Tower of Babel. Nimrod is Ra, Osiris, Baal, Apollo, Prometheus and Horus.
Semiramis is Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Diana the goddess, Venus, and Aphrodite
in the Babylonian, Egyptian, Caananite, Greek and Roman pagan cultures,
respectively. They’re all derived from the same source: the worship
of the sun god and mother earth goddess derived from the ancient mystery
religion of Babylon, which has re-emerged in the form of New Age philosophies
and rituals. In reality, the sun god represents Satan, or a serpent biting
its tail in a circle and mother earth goddess represents the recipient
of the sun god’s sexual seed or rays of the sun. In short, the worship
of mother earth represents the worship of man, ruled by Satan.

The
Canaanite religious ceremonies involved burning their babies and children
alive as they worshiped Baal and Molech. A statue of Molech or Moloch
was made up of a human body with a bull’s head and outstretched
arms. The bull’s head would later be replaced with an owl’s
head. The image of metal was heated and its outstretched arms were heated
white hot. The babies and children were placed in its arms and burned
alive. The worship ceremony of drinking, drugs, sex and loud music served
to drown out the screams of the dying children. It appears God ordered
the killing of the inhabitants of Canaan so that the Israelites would
not intermarry with them and engage in the practice of child and human
sacrifice. After Joshua’s death, Israel began to worship Baal and
indulge in child sacrifice. King Solomon officially endorsed those practices
and the worship of Baal during his reign.

The
purpose of participating in Baal worship or related occult ceremonies
is to open an interdimensional portal for the entrance of demonic powers
to bring military victory, material prosperity, wealth and power to its
participants and adherents. The practice spread throughout the earth and
was practiced by the Druids at Stonehenge and the Incans in what is today
Peru and the Mayans in what is today Mexico.

Interestingly,
the power elite of our world today flirt or practice to one degree or
another with these occult forms of worship. At the Bohemian Grove, where
the world’s most powerful men meet for two weeks every July, there
is a giant statue of Moloch with its arms outstretched. During their Grove’s
opening ceremony, the Cremation of Care ceremony, an effigy of a paper
mache child in a wire frame is placed on the statue and burned. Although
there is no proof of the claim, some have reported that live babies have
been sacrificed as part of the ceremony in the past.

Whether
or not human sacrifice occurred in the redwood groves of the Sonoma coast,
it is more than strange that a long list of Presidents, world leaders,
heads of multinational corporations and prominent leaders from all walks
of life participate in these drunken rituals, which involve all kinds
of sexual activity and chanting. The Skull and Bones rituals that numerous
Presidents and Presidential candidates have been involved in at Yale University
are equally disturbing. These are the most powerful men in our nation
and the world who are or have engaged in occult rituals which are designed
to invoke demonic spirits who are ruled over by Satan!

Even
if there is no human sacrifice involved, it is conspicuous that so many
symbols of occult worship going all the way back to Babylon and the Tower
of Babel is shows up in the occult rituals practiced by the elite of our
world. The pyramid on the back of the one dollar Federal Reserve note,
with the all-seeing eye of Lucifer or Horus, goes back 6,000 years to
the Tower of Babel and many corporate symbols and logos incorporate occult
symbols in them. Clearly, throughout Europe and America a coded message
is being sent to the elites in the know right in front of the rest of
humanity which is clueless about what is being communicated. For example,
the obelisks in the Vatican City, Egypt, New York City, Paris and the
Washington Monument, are Babylonian phallic symbols, that go back to the
time of Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. Legend has it that Semiramis had
Nimrod killed by chopping him to pieces. Semiramis was pregnant through
an illicit relationship after Nirmod’s death. She pronounced Nimrod,
the sun god Ra, later Osiris, and told the people that she became supernaturally
pregnant from using a phallic symbol that was bathed in energy from Ra.
Architecture all over the world tells this story using different names,
but in each case there is a phallic obelisk and a dome structure, which
represents a womb. The Vatican is a mirror of Washington D.C. and both
have an obelisk and a dome. In Washington, the dome or womb is the Washington
Capital Building.

“Washington
DC was designed as a symbol of the Rosicrucian dream shared by its builders:
that America would become the New Atlantis and eventually lead the world
into a restored Golden Age of Osiris.”

This
claim is what legendary Freemason, Manly P. Hall, called "the secret
destiny of America."

It is a vision mirrored in the design of the streets, government buildings,
and other artifacts of Washington D.C. important to the founding of the
United States, including the Great Seal, where the phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum
is prominent. In his second inaugural address, George W. Bush said of
this phrase that when the founders of America placed it on the Great Seal,
"They were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled."

According
to Dr. Horn, “novus ordo seclorum is derived from the prophecies
of the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetess of Apollo (Apollo is the Greek version
of the Egyptian god Osiris) who predicted the return of this deity at
a future date, when men would be rejoined by the gods.

Adolph
Hitler and the leaders of the Third Reich also sought to establish a new
world order and accessed supernatural power that was demonic in nature
which the Apostle Paul referred to in Ephesians 6:12 as “The principalities
and powers, the dark unseen forces of wickedness in heavenly places (other
dimensions).” Hitler’s ability to hold a mass audience in
a trance was more than personal charisma and hypnosis. Hitler was energized
by a supernatural force that had military applications. Hitler’s
German tutor in the occult was a disciple of Aleister Crowley, the British
occult master who called himself, “The Beast 666.” Crowley
was an asset of British intelligence and continues to have a strong cultural
influence years after his death in 1947. Crowley appeared on record jacket
of the Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club album
and influenced Robert Plant, leader singer of Led Zeppelin, who bought
and lives in Crowley’s estate. In Crowley’s 1906 book, “the
Book of the Law, “ some suggest that he was advocating human sacrifice
for wealth and military victory which came directly from ancient Baal
worship that Joshua encountered.

In the
search for superior military power, America, Russia, China, Britain and
Europe have turned to the occult and the paranormal. Many of the Nazi
rocket scientists and mind control specialists who were brought to the
U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip after World War II, were disciples
of the occult. The most famous of all Nazi rocket scientists, Werner Von
Braun, was instrumental in creating NASA and the U.S. space program.

Although
not officially embraced by the U.S. military, a small fringe group of
scientists and writers began investigating the teachings of Aleister Crowley,
through the influence of Jack Parsons, who helped establish Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL). In the 1940’s, Parsons invited science fiction
writers Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury and L. Ron Hubbard, the founder
of Scientology, to spend time at his mansion in Pasadena. Parsons was
experimenting with a Crowley ritual which involved attempting to create
an incarnation of the “goddess Babalon,” which is how Crowley
spelled the name. If this was done successfully, it would usher in the
Aeon of Horus, or the Age of Horus or Osiris, who represents Lucifer.

The
symbols used by the European Union also reflect Biblical imagery. The
modern architecture of the headquarters of the European Union in Brussels,
Belgium, is modeled after the Tower of Babel. The metallic statue of a
woman riding the beast in front of the building makes reference to Revelation
17:1-8:

“And
there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked
with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

With
whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants
of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

So
he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns.

And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand
full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

And
upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And
I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood
of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And
the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee
the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which
hath the seven heads and ten horns.

The
beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from
the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and
is not, and yet is.”

The
Great Whore or the Mother of Harlots is identified as “Mystery,
Babylon.” In Revelation 17:3, it says, “a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast.” This is the statue in front of the headquarters
of the European Union in Brussels. The Great Whore or Mother of Harlots,
is Nimrod’s wife, Semiramis , who was a madam in a whorehouse that
Nimrod met on his way to Babylon. Semiramis established the occult Babylonian
Mystery religion from which all eastern mysticism and occult religions
were birthed. The European Union, along with the U.S. appears to be the
Revived Roman Empire. The all-seeing eye of Horus, Osiris or Lucifer is
on the top of the pyramid and it is also the symbol of the Illuminati,
which was founded in 1776. The Illuminati control governments around the
world through private central banking institutions which they own and
control.

Bible
prophecy all points to the time when the Antichrist rises in political
power. During his rule, World War III and finally Armageddon will occur.
The question for the United States, Europe and every other nation, is
the same question posed to Joshua as his armies marched forward to conquer
Canaan: “Is God on our side or not?”. Joshua was constantly
aware that his military success was totally dependent upon the blessing
of God and his enemies were aware of that as well. When Joshua violated
the instructions of God, his soldiers were defeated in battle.

The
question that lies before each person as we approach the Great Tribulation
and those that are here during Armageddon is, whose side are you on? It
is a simplistic question. It is so simplistic that it angers many of the
so-called intellectuals of our time. But, the question remains for nations
and for us as individuals. Whose side are you on? Whose side is America
on?

Finally,
the more important question. Is God on our side? Is God on your side?
This is not something we can assume just because we are Americans! This
is a question that is constantly in motion depending on the actions and
beliefs of the majority of a nation’s peoples at a particular time
period.

Again,
on a very simplistic level, God is not pleased with a nation that slaughters
babies as they did in Canaan and eventually in Israel. That is just one
concern, but it is an important issue to God, and that is what matters.
It is a great deception to assume that God is on our side just because
of whom we claim to be or who we think we are. Despite the hypnotic lies
told by some preachers and politicians who look into the camera and tell
us “all is well,” all is not well! The truth is we are hanging
by a thread and that thread is the grace of the true God. I think the
time has come to honestly and ruthlessly ask ourselves the question, is
God on our side? In all battlefields that is the only question that counts
and that includes the battlefield of life itself.

When
this all finally wraps up, and I think it is sooner than most people think,
Jesus Christ, the King of kings will come down from heaven, along with
his heavenly army of His saints, and all the nations of this earth will
be gathered to make war against Him. I can tell you this that is not a
good place to be. If you are firing nukes at the King of kings, you are
definitely on the wrong side of the equation.
